report, which, after long discussion, was
adopted:
To Texas Press Association.
Your committee to whom was referred the
resolution of Judge Davis on the subject of le-
gal forced sales, would respectfully report as
follows
We realize the Importance and justice OF q
law which would require advertisements of
public sales under judgment or execution to
be published in newspapers rather
than to be posted on trees or
such change In the law would be more beneh-
cial to the public than to the publisher. We
are In q position to see and appreciate the fact
that the real sufferers by this ANTICIPATED system
are not heard from; such advertisements are
frequently torn down by interested part es TO
prevent the competition at sale. which the !

business men and widows and orphans, Whose |
property may be sold under execution or ludg |

honest Legislators of our state, who have up TO |

change In the law. This IS more than a plain
business ma tie in which the publisher i. in

for change, 1t is our duty to do so. |
We realize the fact that the evils of the law
are not well known, and that shrewd !

this question as one which concerns only the
publisher.
In view of the fact that the next session Of
the Legislature is neatly two years off, and that
ere that time we will again meet IN annual
